At the Aspen Ideas Festival, Mitch Landrieu shared his thoughts on this moment in American history: "I've been a bridge builder my whole life. [...] There's a time to build bridges, and there's a time to fight. And I happen to think that we're in a moment where it's time to fight. Because there's a lot to fight for, and a lot to lose if we don't get it right." Hear his thoughts on what the United States needs right now in a moment of widespread division and polarization.

Discover the hidden stories behind your groceries with author Benjamin Lorr and Executive Director of Food & Society at the Aspen Institute Corby Kummer as they reveal the evolution of supermarkets and labor exploitation. In his new book, "The Secret Life of Groceries: The Dark Miracle of the American Supermarket," Lorr traces the history of the modern-day supermarket and reveals the often exploited and underpaid labor involved in stocking shelves. "We are not good, as a society, at labor enforcement locally, we're not good at it internationally, and so the more that we put people into vulnerable jobs behind the scenes in industries where there's a pattern of abuse, that's not great," says Lorr. 🎬 Missed the event?

The Food Leaders Fellowship at the Aspen Institute grew today with its third cohort of 19 new fellows. Among them is the first Food Equity Policy Lead for the Chicago mayoral office; an ocean activist who helped start a sustainable craft seafood cannery, and the founder of an organization that is bridging the gap between Black farmers and the marketplace. These are just a few of the civic, business, and nonprofit leaders who are all dedicated to changing the food system to eradicate food and nutritional insecurity, support food entrepreneurs and farmers, and push forward sustainable solutions. “Every new cohort is exciting,” says Corby Kummer, executive director of Food and Society at Aspen Institute. “But this one is especially exciting. We recruited from an unprecedented number and range of applicants with an eye not only to how our 19 new fellows will make food systems change together but also how they could work with members of the larger Food Leaders Fellowship community. We can’t wait for these fellows to meet one another and our current and previous fellows, part of our plans! Now we can build in 3D—especially apt for a third cohort.” Meet our new Food Leaders Fellows: https://lnkd.in/ewbAxDGy The Aspen Institute #foodleadersfellows #foodleadersfellowship

It calls for innovation, investment, and policy reform to ensure universal access to mental health care and a more compassionate future. #AspenFinanceLeadersFellowship

All too often we look to the traditional power structures of organizations for leadership. We think executives set strategy, managers implement programs, and our frontline folks implement the plan. What if we shifted this thinking? At the core of the work of Weave: The Social Fabric Project at the Aspen Institute is the idea that there are unheralded leaders everywhere already working to heal our divides. Read how weaving can teach us to think differently about cultivating leaders.
